MB1 Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 MB1. Still Waiting! Unfortunately they've not said when he's on...and you've got to watch the rest of it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonc61 Posted September 19, 2012 Author Share Posted September 19, 2012 Sorry chaps/chappettes, didn't realise it was on for an hour - it's torture! I'm sure I wasn't hallucinating though when they mentioned him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LemonCello Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Kingy did a lot to raise the profile of the humble bass and no doubt inspired a generation of old slappers! Good on 'im I reckon! LC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] It could be that the Trace Elliot amp was the only one they had to hand. Or his dalliance with TC could be like his brief flirtation with Eden amps.

Longmayyourun Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Do you think there's a bass player on the production team at the one show? Last week Pino, this week Mark King - great stuff. And didn't they both come across as nice blokes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnFitzgerald Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Mark's a bit of a tart when it comes to amps. I did however feel a wee burst of pride to see him using a Trace. In fact, I made SWMBO pause the telly till I got my amp head out and held it up next to the telly. She pulled 'the face' - "yeah, he's using a Trace Elliot. Yes, I know you've got one too..." Amp sheepishly put away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmz Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Wasn't Jean-Jacques Burnel on a while back too talking about No More Heroes ? There must be a bass player on the production team. Sweepstake as to who will be next ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyf Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 I saw it earlier and like others have mentioned, there seems to be a definite bass bias. Not bad for primetime TV. I'm no fanboy but MK came across as a genuine, funny and self-depreciating chap. He seemed like great company, he had the studio audience in the palm of his hand.

steve-soar Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 I would like to think they'd be cool about it. I love Mark King, BTW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesparky Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 He's still using TC, it's spec'd on the riders when he isn't able to take his own stuff (whether the local supply companies can provide it is an entirely different issue). My guess is that Mark took only his bass and the BBC's production just sourced "a bass amp" and a TE amp arrived at the studio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
